Personal Information


Hello! My name is Lou Brackett. I have been an instructor in the Technology Department for seven years, first as a part-timer, then as a full time faculty member. I also taught computer software classes for Continuing Education at Clayton College for eight years. My specialties are WordPerfect, Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Windows and DOS (that oldie but goodie!) I am certified as a Microsoft Office User Specialist Master and a Microsoft Authorized Instructor.

I never set out to be a teacher. I have a B.S. in Chemistry and an A. A. S. in Computer Science, back from the days when computer science meant you knew how to program in Fortran, COBOL, and RPG! Technology has changed immensely since then. I found out very quickly that I was much better with computers than chemistry (be thankful - I probably would have blown up the world by now) and began to teach part time in continuing education just to keep current while I raised my children. I completed a Master's degree in Instructional Technology - Distance Learning at Georgia College and State University in 2004. I took most of my grad classes online, so if you have any questions about online classes, just ask. 

My hobbies (in my spare time) are technology, quilting, sewing, reading, Broadway shows and birdwatching. If you ever see a strange or unusual bird on campus, let me know! I am also interested in Georgia history and trivia, especially coastal Georgia history.

I look forward to working with you this semester.
